HOW DOOR INSTALLATION WORKS
-
Call or Request Online
We confirm your door type, opening size, and material preference before scheduling. Same-day assessment available.
-
On-Site Frame Assessment
We measure the rough opening, check plumb and level, and inspect the frame for rot or settling before ordering materials.
-
Old Door Removal
Existing door, hinges, and trim are removed carefully. Frame is cleaned, prepped, and any minor damage addressed before the new unit goes in.
-
Installation and Hardware
Pre-hung unit is shimmed and secured with long screws into structural framing. Lockset, deadbolt, and weatherstripping are fitted and tested.
-
Final Inspection
Door is opened and closed ten times. We check for light gaps, test lock function, and walk you through the new hardware before cleanup.
WHY INSTALLATION QUALITY MATTERS
A Door Is Only as Good as Its Frame and Fit
Central Texas clay soil settles. Hyde Park bungalows from the 1920s have frames that have shifted. New construction in Steiner Ranch and Pflugerville uses dimensional lumber that dries and moves. A door that fits at the hardware store may bind, gap, or leak air within a year if the installer does not account for those conditions.
Our technicians measure rough opening dimensions, check plumb and level with a 6-foot level, and assess the frame before any material is ordered. When the frame needs shimming, blocking, or a splice to accept the new unit, we do that work first. The result is a door that operates without binding and seals against a Texas summer without gaps.
- Pre-installation frame assessment on every job
- Long screws driven into structural framing, not just jamb wood
- Weatherstripping adjusted to 1/8-inch gap tolerance on all four sides
- Old door hauled away at no additional charge

DOOR INSTALLATION - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does a standard entry door installation take?
A standard pre-hung entry door replacement takes 2-4 hours from removal of the old unit to final weatherproofing and hardware test. Slab-only installations run 4-6 hours because the door must be mortised, planed, and custom-fitted to the existing frame. Complex jobs involving frame replacement, sidelights, or non-standard rough openings may require 6-8 hours or a second visit for trim and finishing.
Which door material is best for Texas climate?
Fiberglass is the best all-around choice for Central Texas. Hill Country heat and humidity swings (30% winter to 80-plus percent summer) warp solid wood and pit uncoated steel. Fiberglass holds its shape, carries an R-value of 5-7, and requires no repainting for decades. Steel is the next best choice for security-focused buyers who can tolerate periodic repainting. Solid wood works on covered porches and north-facing doors with proper sealing and annual maintenance.
Do I need a full frame replacement, or can you install a slab into the existing frame?
It depends on frame condition. If the jamb is plumb, square, and free from rot or settling damage, a slab installation saves $200-$500 over a pre-hung unit. If the frame shows rot at the threshold (common after sprinkler overspray), has previous break-in damage, or is out of square by more than 1/4 inch, we recommend a full pre-hung unit. We assess the frame at the start of every job and provide the honest call before any material is ordered.
Can you install a door in a non-standard opening?
Yes. Standard residential entry doors are 36 inches wide by 80 inches tall. For openings that differ, we can order custom-size pre-hung units from Therma-Tru or Masonite (2-3 week lead time, higher material cost), build a custom solid wood door to specification (4-6 weeks), or modify the rough opening framing to accept a standard door when making it smaller. Many Hyde Park and Clarksville bungalows have 32-inch or 34-inch openings from original construction. We handle them routinely.
Is your door installation team licensed?
Yes. Pros On Call operates under Texas DPS Locksmith License #B19847, bonded and insured since 2010. Every technician dispatched for door installation work is a direct employee of Pros On Call, not a subcontractor. The license number is on every invoice and verifiable through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Do you haul away the old door?
Old door removal and disposal are included in the installation price at no additional charge. If you want to keep the old door for a workshop, garden shed, or repurposing project, let us know before we start and we will set it aside for you.
